Step 1: Brainstorming

The first thing I do when I start a new unit is brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas that I came up with when thinking about Aboriginal Education, Art and Drama:
  • 7 Teachings
  • Outdoor Education
  • Pantomime of an Aboriginal story
  • Aboriginal Dance (Physical Activity)
  • Study of the Tipi
  • Word-splash activity
  • Literature study
Provocation: A provocation is designed to captivate the interests of the students. It is there to provoke questioning and curiosity. Here are some symbols that I think should be incorporated in a provocation for a  study of Aboriginal Education:
  • Feather: To symbolize the stages of life/protection of nature
  • Rock: To symbolize the tradition of the sharing circle
  • Books: Stories
  • Leather
  • Figurines/Pictures of animals: Eagle, Bear, Whale, Bison
